As requested by Mr Michael O’Neill whom I’ve just noticed spells his surname with two Ls. I never noticed that before. This is the 10 minute version for those who adore extended saxophone solos.
BTW you can get Come go with me here - it’s good but nowhere near as good.
Damage and me are playing in Bournemouth on Saturday. I’m looking forward to spinning lots of AC Slater, Math Head, DJ Donna Summer, Crazy Cousinz and annoyingly enjoyable MSTRKRFT remixes. Expect a post about all those tunes soon. In the mean time here’s some swingbeat to jiggle to.
If I could dance like a robot I’d dance like a robot to this.
A few years ago I was DJing every week often to big crowds at warehouse raves. I couldn’t mix a milkshake then but thankfully I was often playing with Raggatha Christie and Brains so things worked out. We never really gave much thought about what to play - we just picked bangers. These really badly pressed bootlegs got crowds dancing without fail - it was easy.
WILEY - IGLOO (UNKNOWN BOOTLEG)
My friend from Picnic Land tells me that there’s a Joyce Sims freestyle song that’s better than Shannon’s Let the music play! Is that possible? I’ve been searching for a while and I can’t find it. During my hunt for the mythical track I came across this 12″ single. It’s nowhere near as good at Let the music play but it’s definitely a seven or eight out of ten. I think this might have been produced by Kurtis Mantronik but Wikipedia, Discogs and the record’s sleeve all give conflicting information.
I don’t know if was the Beatmasters or Tyree who invented it but it’s one of the best sub-genres ever.
KOOL ROCK STEADY - LET’S GET HYPED (LP MIX)
FAST EDDIE FEAT SUNDANCE - GIT ON UP
TYREE COOPER - TURN UP THE BASS (FAST EDDIE MIX)
DESKEE - LET THERE BE HOUSE (WESTBAM MIX)
SILVER BULLET - BRING FORTH THE GUILLOTINE
REBEL MC - STREET TUFF (CLUB RADIO MIX)
BEATMASTERS FEAT BETTY BOO - HEY DJ/ I CAN’T DANCE TO THE MUSIC YOU’RE PLAYING
Producers had electronic dance music nailed over twenty years ago. It is depressing to think when Bomb The Bass and co were laying down tracks with their Atari ST and Roland D50 it was closer in time to The Beatles than it is to Drop The Lime!
Shimmy your shoulders wildly to this.
In this world where everybody is sophisticatedly swinging along to Jodeci is there room for Miami style 808 bitch rap?
I don’t know the story behind the I got your boyfriend/girlfriend shtick but I like the music.
GET FRESH GIRLS - I SEEN YOUR BOYFRIEND
MC LUSCIOUS - BOOM! I GOT YOUR BOYFRIEND (X-RATED EXPLICIT)
Bonus track
WINK D FEAT CANDY FRESH - GET BUSY
I feel a bit guilty for having liked this twee indie pop over 10 years ago. Now I feel even more disgusted with myself for adoring it still. This Swedish band was brilliant.
Been sorting through my record collection and I noticed I used to buy far more interesting vinyl before I became a DJ.
DOPPLEREFFEKT - SCIENTISTS (ALBUM VERSION)
Obviously Starkey and Vex’d are next level but old Planet - µ releases by Mike P and Jega are among my favourite ever 12″s. Amazingly The Fear was released on a major label - it’s a beautiful distorted mess.
I remember Rory playing this remix and I made sure I got my hands on it the next day.
BJORK - IT’S IN OUR HANDS (SOFT PINK TRUTH MIX)
Metal fingers is one of those records like Dizzee’s I Luv U that is so familiar that I couldn’t listen to in a long time. Now their biggest hit sounds really fresh again. I remember seeing them live a few times. They were fun.
Maybe I’d be more offended if it was Jew hating instead of misogyny, homophobia and general violence but early gangsta rap seems so ridiculous to me that I believe it’s a macho parody rather than mindless exploitation – I hope so - otherwise listening to it’s pretty bad. Either way the old stuff seems like comic book bravado compared to the modern genre.
Example 1
Easy E robs a bank and gets seriously dodgy with a hostage before things go all Crying Game.
Example 2
I thought this Kurupt, Warren G, Nate and Snoop track was very wrong when it came out - I was 13. Now it seems pretty silly. They play it at Work It about three times a night and all the boys including me sing along.
I best stop posting my own material. It will only end in my four-track indiepunk demos or worse the IDM phase.
Here’s a really beautiful track with slightly stalky undertones.
C-BANK - I WON’T STOP LOVING YOU
It’s the best freestyle track I’ve been listening to recently. Even better than the other C-Bank track I adore.
Alice Empire Amen Warrior Princess was and still is me and my sister Zara. The tracks featured varying degrees of help from Ben O’Shea and Alex_Tea and were recorded between 1998 and 2001. The music was intended as a pastiche or maybe a tribute to Atari Teenage Riot, Digital Hardcore, Alec Empire and other related artists of that era.
Patric C from Digital Hardcore once called me up to tell me he wanted to release our material as a 7″. I thought it was a wind up that was something to do with my friend Nadia so I slammed the phone down. Thinking about it now I don’t think it was - oops. Another label got our track featured on a compilation that was very briefly in the Singapore indie top 10. Chicks On Speed were apparently fans too!
